Study of Porous Structures and Thermal Properties of Luminescent Polymeric Microspheres Derivatives of Naphthalene-2,7-Diol by Beata Podkościelna, Mateusz Lutomski

“…We studied the porous structures and thermal properties of spherical shaped cross-linked polymers. These novel polymeric microspheres were synthesized by emulsion–suspension polymerization of aromatic tetrafunctional monomer [2,7-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy)naphthalene (2,7-NAF.DM)] with typical, commercially available monomers (styrene, divinylbenze ne and methyl methacrylate). …”
